Yeah. Franck... "Barbie" is just an American fashion doll, right?

A spelling flame, particularly applied to someone for whom English isn't
their first language, is *really* a sign you've lost the plot.

No, a pun on a bad spelling, missed completely by all concerned, is a
sign you've missed the plot.

"Chili" genocide," you know. I'm just shocked that *none* of our
"English speakers" got it.

It was during the Cold War, and when you have a choice between a
horrible guy on your side versus a horrible guy on the other guy's side,
you have to make some ugly choices... and we did. But no worse (and
usually better) than some of the other "free" countries around the world
at the time. Like the Shah of Iran, who was a nasty *******, but
certainly better than what replaced him. Or just about anyone in South
America.

Luckily, most of the Socialist and Communist countries have collapsed,
and the ones that are left are slowly starting to transition to
capitalism. We're starting to get a wider choice in what we consider
"allies" now, instead of settling for whoever happened to want to trade
with us.

Oh, I 'got' the 'joke' ok. Just saw it for what it was, a diversion from the
fact you have nothing to contribute and have lost the argument.

As far as getting the joke, you really didn't - or you wouldn't have
called it a "spelling flame" and would have bitched about "bad jokes"
before it was explained to you...
